Is only becoming to dark woman with
much color, but The manufacturers,
knowing that all tho varying tints pre-.
vail here, that rosy blondes and pale
ones, deep bruncttes and brunc.blondes
must be suited, have made so many hucs
that arc called by the name that each and
every condition Of woman from com.
ploxion standpoint Is satisfied.
Tho English papers tell OF Mrs. James
Brown Pottcr's failure in London and
somehow nobody feels sorry for her.
She had little to gain except the gratid.
cation Of a petty vanity, and much to
lose by going on the stage. Rcciting
pleasantly and gracefully in drawing
room, she is without any exception the
most awkward woman on thestage Ihayc
ever seen. And I have seen all tho ANA
teurs. In the first place Mrs. Potter's
arms are SO long that in lovc-making she
suggests, by an embrace, the way cork
screw would look If it were outside the
cork. Then she lacks rcposc, she does
not walk we'll and she is conscious to
degree that is painful, even to her audi
cnce. Now, Mrs. Langtry was much
better equipped for the stage, although
in the amateur line she had not been ad-
vertised so extensively; the English wo-
man walks well and has charm of quiet
ease and beauty to back it all. There are
hundreds of women in the United States
who are bctter-looking, better formed
and more graceful than Mrs. Potter;
whether there are as many who are con.
sumcd by great vanity / do not know,
but hope not. ~ 8
May is a dull month-nobody cares to
risk getting married-and being unlucky,
the time for teas and receptions has
gone by. Steamer days make break
and parties to Tuxedo fill up the rest of
the time All the world has somebody
"going across and the remaining bodies
feel bound to see them well started, or,
as n wag said, shalt seas over" The
good-byes and the champagne, the flow
ers and the b. s S. become q part Of the
Saturday of each week unless, indeed,
the tide is impolitc enough to insist on
forcing the sailing hour to be about seven

a girl would die before she would confess

but some of the experiences arc funnier.
A very pretty woman with lovely bronze
hair made up her mind she would like It

a hideous brassy hue. This had been
gained In London. In Paris Augusta,

the suffering one on the cara going to
Vienna; her hair was not looked ut until
her arrival, and then, horrors! 1t was o

toque which she wore Since that time a
systematic course OF washing has re-

the others, for sad experience is all that
will kill folly. ;.
